I don't agree at all. I don't want to use the same account across multiple organizations.
And even if you did, that can be done via federated auth in IAM.

Re: AWS doesn’t know who I am
#12Some of these are legitimate grievances but it seems quite reasonable to have separate accounts for work and play. What I do despise is that my Amazon.com credentials are the same as my Amazon AWS root account credentials. They aren't equals. The services share the name of a rainforest and a very rich CEO but that's about where the similarities end for my part. I'd rather not have to plug in my AWS root account crede…
These are two different sets of Creds, or should be.

That's kinda your fault for not having created two accounts, innit

#14This is very interesting because it comes from the perspective of someone who cares so much about what they do at work that it bleeds into their personal life.

Personally I'd hate that. Send that info to my work email account for sure, but my private one? No way!
If I'm not currently being paid to think about my job, nothing should be trying to remind me of its existence.

#15We overuse identity as an important thing in computing. AWS does have problems with IAM of course, but we need to accept that adding human identities everywhere in what is largely a system of computers and applications talking to each other is a security mistake, we need the fine grained delegation of access control, and capabilities. Just because I control some aspect of a program does not imbue it with any sense of my identity. Roles, capabilities, all these are more important than identities.
They should be able to talk to you as a person for marketing or conferences yeah, thats a different thing.

#16Article fails to explain why that's a problem. From a security standpoint, this separation is necessary and beneficial.

Hm, well they're the same for me and I get redirected to Amazon.com to edit certain pieces of AWS account information.
Perhaps it's because my account is very old - possibly having been created near the inception of AWS. I have no memory of creating the account.

Clearly the solution to this is for the retail site to support IAM roles.

Is this the case for you? Mine are totally different. How did they get tied together?
